Get more for your money with cheap Turkey hotels
Turkey – the land of mystery and promise – offers a diverse blend of attractions, from its inspiring landscapes to its ancient history and culture. Happily, for the time being this all comes at an affordable price as well. Having been hailed as a ‘best buy’ holiday location throughout 2009 Turkey has been proving itself to be a shrewd option for travellers and this is partly related to its currency. The country still has a number of years before it can join the EU and start thinking about swapping its Lira for the Euro. Until then, UK visitors can look forward to a good return on their money, while the deals on Turkey hotels mean accommodation can be be found for under £5 per person per night, stretching holiday budgets even further.
Following the strengthening of the Euro against the Pound over the last year or so many travellers have been considering looking elsewhere for a good value holiday. Turkey has become a serious contender as an alternative to traditional European destinations, with its favourable exchange rates of around 2.4 Turkish Lira to the Pound. The country benefits from all the advantage of its European neighbours, such as weather, activities and culture, but at a better price when you’re there.
Popular places to spend your new found wealth include the town of Bodrum on the west coast, which offers a heady mix of old fashioned charm and modern sophistication. For a great investment of both time and money, a trip to the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology is well worth a visit. Further south around the capital of Antalya visitors can see some of the ocean’s treasures in their natural habitat when they enjoy the area’s excellent scuba diving. The region also benefits from a good supply of high quality cheap Turkey hotels, with all inclusive resorts available for incredible prices. For a diverse range of Turkey’s delights all in one place, meanwhile, the Dalaman region is a good choice. Again, there are plenty of reasonably priced Turkey hotels on offer, suitable for families, couples or groups of friends.
There’s no doubt, of course, that some of the most rewarding things to do in Turkey are free. Whether you choose to walk around its towns, hike through its mountains or relax on its beaches, you will have a great experience – and at a great price.
